Why should you enrol in the PADI Deep Diver course?

Expand Your Dive Horizons

The PADI Deep Diver specialty course allows you to explore underwater environments that are beyond the typical recreational diving limits of 18-30 meters.

Becoming a PADI Deep Diver allows you to access a much wider range of dive sites, and explore the deeper realms of some dive sites you may already have explored at a shallower depth.

Example of dive sites around Koh Tao where we can dive below 30 metres include Chumphon Pinnacle and Sail Rock, both boasting marine life, and geological features that are not accessible to less experienced divers.

Improved Diver Skills and Knowledge

Our PADI Deep Diver specialty training focuses on the specialized training and knowledge needed for deep diving techniques, which will allow you to plan and execute dives below 30metres.

This includes learning about gas management at depth and navigating in poor visibility. You will also learn about nitrogen narcosis and the challenges associated with diving at greater depths. 

Safety First

There are additional considerations and risks associated with Deep diving and the PADI Deep Diver specialty course addresses these.

Our specialty training course ensures you become a better equipped scuba diver, able to recognize and mitigate any risks at depth, which will make you a safer, more competent and better equipped diver overall.

Gain and Dive with Confidence

Deep diving can be somewhat intimidating for some divers. The PADI Deep Diver course helps build confidence in your abilities and decision-making skills underwater.

As you gain deep diving experience during the Deep Diver training, you will start to feel much more confident, comfortable and capable in more challenging diving situations.

After completing the course, you will be certified to dive to depths of up to 40 meters opening up even more opportunities for exciting and challenging dives.

Advance Your Certification Level

The PADI Deep Diver certification can count toward your PADI Master Scuba Diver certification, which is the highest non-professional certification in recreational diving.

Our Deep Diver specialty course is a great step if you want to advance your skills, explore new underwater areas of interest and demonstrate your commitment to scuba diving.

Learn from Experienced Dive Instructors

 Our PADI Deep Diver course is taught by more experienced PADI diving instructors who themselves have the additional skills and experience, to provide you with the valuable insights and guidance you need to competently plan and execute dives below 40 metres.

Our PADI Deep Dive Instructors will ensure you have the necessary knowledge and skills to dive safely at greater depths.

Deep Diving around Koh Tao
